Haha yeah they seem to be quite nice in terms of fur! Okay yeah that makes sense, I will for sure keep that in mind! I figured that the false dwarf does would have bigger litters! And yes I'd prefer one gender to not be dwarf and the other dwarf. I'm going to try as hard as I can to see if I...

Update! So for now I've decided to go with Mini Rexes. They're popular around here so should be easy to sell, and I've found a few breeders around me. I'm working on an enclosure, and that should be done in no time. So my next questions are: when should I look at getting rabbits, and how many...

There aren't a lot of silver fox breeders here unfortunately! I think I may try Mini Satins, as I'd be selling as meat or pet rabbits but I'm too weak-stomached to butcher myself so likely wouldn't keep any meat myself. They have a lot of colors and there are a few breeders around here. and I...

Gotcha! I do think I'll get obsessed and want more than one breed, but from what I've been reading lately, I think the Dutch may be the route I go for now. I also sort of wanted something that wasn't as common in my area so maybe better sales and I could help it become more popular and "be...

I've heard mixed thoughts on the Dutches for meat! I do love the look and all around size, build, and temperament of them though. They're not dwarfs right? How much meat do they typically produce? Similar to a Mini Rex?

This is such great info, thank you so much! I was researching Netherland Dwarfs last year so I had learned the part about the peanuts and all that. I would for sure get stock from a show/standard breeder! So if I was to go with the Mini Rex or Mini Satin, should I start with a trio? So say, two...

Yes, I really don't want something super huge but I'm okay with like 12 lbs and under. I know those are probably large rabbits, I'm new to rabbits so I don't really know much but I'm doing research! I may also look into meat chickens but I'm also raising registered miniature horses (first two...

Good to know! I do love the unique colors of the harlequins for sure! I've heard that they can get aggressive with their kits but that was from one source haha

Thank you so much! I did some research and did like the idea of Silver Foxes, so I'll be looking more into those especially. But now you've got me curious about Mini Rex! How much meat do they produce (like percentage of bone to meat wise? I think that's what it's called? I'm new to rabbits so I...

Hi everyone! I'm researching raising meat rabbits, and was wondering which breeds are the best for meat but could be also sold as a friendly pet? Also would prefer a breed that has a nice pelt so zero waste. I'm in Alberta, Canada so also would like something that is fairly easy to find stock...

Great thank you! And I’m not quite sure yet but later I may also get into Holland Lops later on, would that be okay for them too since they are a dwarf breed as well?

Yes I figured that out after some research 😊 I’m more asking about the size of the mesh, like is 1/2” x 1/2” okay?

Hi everyone! I'm getting into breeding Netherland Dwarf rabbits, and I'm building my own hutch. Can I use 1/2" x 1/2" welded mesh? And is 16 gauge or 14 gauge better? I don't really have any places around me where I can get the standard 1" x 1/2" so what would you recommend? Thanks!
